Hi all.
Iv planted a seed just for the fun of it and to see how it will grow so im a beginner at this and im trying out diffrent tips and tricks.
I havent topped the plant at the veg stage so it grew taller and taller, now its almost 1m tal and
I saw some videos on how to tie it down but that didnt work because the plant almost "cracked".
I searched some more and saw that I could supercrop it, wachted some tutorials on how to do it, wached some more, I did it, and now I think im fuc*ed, here are some pictures of how it looks like and could someone please tell me if the plant is going to survive or not. At the top, I didnt hear any "crack" it just fell down and there was like a drop of "watering" stuff that came out from the bend where I cracked it, but the leaves to the left and right side did crack and those are Ok I think. She is about 1 month and 1 week old, she's been floworing for about a week now, and its a easyryder auto fem if that info will help you to give me a more correct answer :)

First ... You NEVER ( I repeat NEVER ) Top , FIM or Super Crop an Autoflower.
It does not have the time to repair itself. It will stunt or worse. Undo stress to an autoflower drops yield and health dramatically.

Autos are best grown without a lot of manhandling. You can LST them , with care.
And they are not happy being transplanted. It's best to germ seed and grow in its FINAL SIZE container from the start. No less than 3 gallon. It has such a short VEG STAGE ( a week sometimes ) then preflower. I have grown autos up to week6/7 BEFORE I even feed it. It can blow up fast.

By then most of the soils amendments are starting to exhaust and need to be supplemented. During the veg stage , sometimes I just give a light foliar spray with VEG nutes to give a little boost.

Try to carefully brace the main stalk , don't leave it like that. Use something like a drinking straw and tape next to bend to support it . See what happens as time goes on.

The bends don't look too bad, the one that cracked just tape her up not as bent as she is and hope for the best on your finiky auto.
